Mr. John 8. Roberson, of Franklln

publication :
Mr. A. F. Johnson, Editor
Franklin Times,
Iaoulsburg, N. C.
Dear Sir:
I will thank you kindly to pMnt the
following: First, I assure you that It
is in no spirit of criticism, or fault
finding that I write this, hut for the
purpose, as one of the members of
the Board of Trustees suggested to
me, that some of the patrons of the
Graded school here should do, for In
vestigation only;
With a natural increase of pro
perty each year, with Increased ap
praised values for taxation,, plus a
flat increased value of real estate
this year, plus a still further In
crease of nearly ten thousand dollars
worth of real estate that had not
heretofore been listed in this district
by error, plus a still further in
crease of about a mile of the Raleigh
and Gastonla Railroad it is hard to un
derstand why we or our children
should lose one-eighth of our Graded
school term. I understand there Is
money due this school district. Now
the taxes for 1914 have been.fcald and
If there is money due this School, it
should be ' forced across, and our
children not made to suffer this loss of
time.
One thing Is true and we might as
well get down to brass tacks, and cor
rect It. We are praying too much for
, the superintending of schools. Over
half of the money collected for public
schools In North Carolina, Is paid out
for Superintending. I have always
contended that the Superintendents
salary was out of proportion to the
teachers: ? if they were paid o n a
bases of actual work done, the
teachers would receive more and the
Superintendent le3S. ?With this kind
of an adjustment, we would find it
much easier to provide a sinking fund
to meet our bonds.
It will never do to take the time
away from the children. Will some
one please explain why we are pay
ing ten percent Increase in taxes, and
getting a decrease of twelve and half
per cent in our school term.
Very respectfully,
JOHN .S ROBERSON.

Visits Loulsburg After N Tears.
The following Is si" tetter from Mr,
I. G. Ross, of Walnut Cove, who
although born In Franklin county had
not visited here In 34 years.
Locust Hill, Farm, N. C.
Sept. 1. 1916.
Editor of the Franklin Times:
After being from youfr county for
34 years, I wish to note some ot the
great developments that has been
since I was a resident ot your county.
FtankUnton was the first town I
stopped In and I found that had grown
from a small town of six stores to
eighteen white and seven colored
jstores. Starting to Loulsburg the
Railroad was there and a nice sand
clay road all the way until I reached
Cypress Creek township line, my old
home township, which I regretted very
much to see. There Is an old pro
verb that "mud and misery are linked
together," and later they will find that
out.
I want to aay something of Louls
burg. I passed through going and
coming and saw but little of the Im
provements. I saw that electric
lights had been added and all the
business houses had been rebuilt and
It was able to suport three banks and
three tobacco warehouses, the resi
dential part of the town I failed to
see, but if that has grown as the
Business part it has grown equal to
any town in the State. I arrived in
Loulsburg on the 7 a. m. train 31 years
ago and started home on an ox cart
and it must have taken at least
eight hours to have gotten there, but
this time through the generosity of Mr.
Jim PeiTy and good roads I was at
home in less than 30 minutes. His
kindness shown me will not be easily
forgotten.
One ot the greatest Improvements
I saw was the schools and the school
buildings. I saw only two, the one at
the Seven Paths, whose promoter I
learned was M.r Matthew Sykes.
Nothing niore" lasting could have been
erected to his memory. Stone and
marble would fade, but civilization
will never and our schools are the
foundation for the home church and
government. I had the pleasure of
visiting Bunti; While-there I stopped
at the hospitable home of Mr. Peyton
Sykes. It seemed to be natural with
them to make people feel at home. The
part a mountainer likes is the dinner
so. as I entered the dining room I saw
that Mrs. Sykes had not lost any of
her fine art In cooking.
Bunns to-day is not what it was 34
years ago. When I attended Sunday
school there the house we -went to was
a litle log barn with a log aSTwed
out at one end to give either light or
air, I never knew which. Now they
have an up-to-date house there with
an auditorium capldty fpr seating
over 500 people with good chairs tp
sit on. Any one that does not believe
in evolution, all he has to do is to
visit that town and he will be a con
firmed evolutionist after that visit.

Four Hundred Million Cigarettes for
Allies.
The allies have signed a contract
with a large American manufacturing
.firm for 400,000,000 "coffin nails."
They are not mental nails to tack up
coffins with, however, but are the
good old "coffin nails" of the text
books on physiology, the same old
"coffin nails" dear Aunf Maria warn3
small Bily about.
The 400^000,000 cigarettcs are to
be delivered to the allies on or before
Sept. 1. The order will keep the fac
tory handling it. busy night and day,
it is stated. In order to get the
"smokes" completed on time the fac
tory will have to turn out cigarettes
at the rate of 10,000,000 a day, or a
bout 7,000 for every mlnuto of the
day, which is "goin' some," every
man who "rolls his own" will admit.
It the allies smoke the cigarettc at
the rate of manufacture, a clond of
smoke forty feet high would engulf
the German empire, statisticians fig
ure out.
Four hundred million cigarettes
would form a tobacco bride covering
the Bug river from bank to bank
from source to mouth. The "papers"
used would carpet Europo with a
white pall. It laid end to end those
400,000,000 cigarettes would stretch
from Paris to Berlin and from Berlin
to Paris nineteen times.
